I think having a discussion on typeclaiming is worthwhile because the OP says it could be potentially dangerous. I'm waiting to see what the supposed rewards are for completing a gym challenge before I make any decision about that. I'm also not super into the idea of gaming the setup when we don't know poo poo about what it is.

Not a fan of the weird (fake?) claiming going on tbh

Holy moly I love gaming systems if we can exploit them for towns favour.

We essentially broke Desperado 3 by using movement info to pinpoint scum like 2-3 times.

If we can get some cool rear end poo poo happening for town and denying scum an advantage I'll game that poo poo all day long

I was going to say just follow your heart, but I guess you just set the gift down and let first come first take if I am reading this correctly.

Kinda like how a trap works... just set it out there for whomever unfortunate pokmans comes to see what's in the box.

If we believe Kash's claim (and I kinda do), then throwing him at gym 1 is not a bad plan since he is Ice type. Future gyms I dunno, he isn't town and I'd rather give the exp to players that can do something good with it.

Assuming, of course, we find anyone we can trust on future gyms :tinfoil:

And town players might get more useful powers. I don't really know yet as I don't know what your presents do, nor do I know what I get when I evolve as my PM just says "You can evolve!"

We don't know that, as you could be lying. I'm inclined to believe you, and I think you are a good pick for gym one, but who knows what's gonna happen on subsequent days.

You think you have the wherewithal to figure out my puzzle vagina?

:siren: Leader Falkner wants to battle! :siren:

Be careful with this guy, he's got two birds.

The first gym is usually a gimme, and this is no exception. In fact, there is no penalty for failure for this gym. There'll probably be some chatter about it if you win, though.

Types With Advantage: Electric, Ice, Rock

Types With Disadvantage: Bug, Grass, Fighting

Team Size: 4

Gym Difficulty: 3

The first four players to be chosen will have their total strength added together and compared to the difficulty. Types with an advantage are worth 2 points, types with a disadvantage are worth -1 point. All other types are worth 1 point. If the total is greater than or equal to the difficulty, the challenge is successful.

Examples:
Fire (1), Flying (1), Water (1), Psychic (1): 4 total, success.
Ice (2), Electric (2), Water (1), Fighting (-1): 4 total, success.
Rock (2), Ground (1), Normal (1), Grass (-1): 3 total, success.
Ground (1), Normal (1), Bug (-1), Fighting (-1): 0 total, failure.

Gym challenges are first-come first-serve with no unchoosing, so choose carefully!

Hmm, I still don't know if there's any reason not to reveal my type, but I'll hold off on the specifics for now -- but I'll also say that for this gym, I am also worth one point, so I should probably sit it out in favor of someone with an advantage.
